I haven't used Conkeror, but it's basically a browser like Firefox,
right?  So you don't have a cursor that you can move around?

In that case, jumping to numbered links makes more sense, but in Emacs,
you can just hold down the `down' key a bit to move past masses of
links, or whatever.  Moving around in en Emacs buffer is usually not
really that much work.

In Firefox, though, it's pretty awful.  If you don't use the mouse
there, you have to TAB forever.
